Ipod mini sound issue.

good morning.
Sometime yesterday morning it seems that the sound output balance on my ipod mini went far over to the righthand earphone. However I can't find anywhere within the ipod OS to actually adjust the balance. Also, the speaker balance on my ibook that I load/charge the ipod mini from still has optimal balance (centered)
Any ideas how to change the balance back on the mini? Any perticular reason why it may have changed on it's own?
Thanks.

Hah, i'm a little embarassed that I actually neglected to think of that... Thanks my friend.
I guess I'm still a little stubborn. "No way, it's Apple! It has to be something else!"

  • IPod mini sound quality - any ideas?

    I have recently purchased an iPod mini and have noticed that every now and again there is a crackling sound for about 2 seconds, sometimes longer. This always happens on the same songs, in exactly the same place. Would this be a hardware/earphone issue or could it possibly be that the CD I downloaded was scratched?
    thanks

    Simple - try to Rip that song from the CD again and replaces it then listen to it.

  • Help with iPod mini (Battery issues)

    I am an owner of an iPod mini (1st generation) that I bought in February from Amazon. The mini has constant battery issues that have led me to suspect a bad battery within.
    For instance; I leave my mini in it's charging cable overnight, and it reports "charged" in the morning. I leave it for the rest of the day in my coat's poket but during my walk home from the bus stop, I find that the mini's battery is completely DISCHARGED and doesn't work at all. I'm sick and tired of having my battery last only a minute before it completely dies on me while walking home.
    Can anyone lead me to a source of help? I NEED to get this problem fixed as I don't want to listen yo all my music while having to be hooked up to a cable.

    Apple will replace your battery (if its within one year of purchase, no receipt needed, just the SERIAL # on the back of your mini), and you can get repair for FREE, just $32 for shipping and handling, OR you can, if an Apple store is near your home or in your town, take it to them, and get a REPLACEMENT mini on the spot, for FREEEEE!!!
    Try those methods, but i HIGHLY suggest you take it to an Apple store first and see their take on the issue!!!

  • Ipod mini sound problem

    i got my mini a few years ago and its had a bad phase a few months ago when i had to send it back because the battery wouldn't last that long at all, so anyway they sent it back to me and said it was fixed only for a bit and then another problem has arouse and its just started not playing music at all, i looked at this forum and people have had same problems and they have been told to reset the ipod. i did that and its still not playing music
    should i send it back and will they give me a new one?!!!
    many thanks if anyone knows the answer to this one

    the sound will not play when i put the headphones into my ipod mini, i got a set of speakers the other day and it won't play on them either, the ipod won't freeze or anything like that it will look like it is playing the song as normal but there will be no sound at all coming from the headphones or the speakers when i plug them in, i have checked the speakers and headphones and they are both working fine in my cd player

  • IPod Mini sound/volume is as soft as a mouse now

    PLEASE HELP!
    I have just got a replacement set of earphones sent to me by apple because the original one just stopped working all of the sudden. I noticed that my iPod mini's sound/volume is about 50% softer than when I originaly got it. I've tried using euPOD and goPOD and also the slider trick but it still doesn't take the volume back to the good old days. I know that it is probably because of the stupid new 26-03-2006 update with the volume limit on it, but i've also tried restoring the iPOD but to no avail either. I've tried everything already and nothing has worked. Does anybody know how I can get around this or I'll just have to throw my Mini in the trash and never buy anything from apple again! I also noticed that the volume slider doesn't actualy change the volume loudness until it gets past halfway.....so it doesn't actualy get softer or louder until I'm about halfway thru. I can't see why apple would want to implement such a ridiculous limit on what was essentialy a very good product.

    Gary,
    There is a lot I don't know yet, but I definitely managed to raise the volume by cutting off the sound check and the equalizer when importing new stuff. As a test, I can now hear the words in an audiobook, although the volume is still on maximum for my iPod and car tape player. Unfortunately the old stuff still sounds too faint. (Is this iPod actually updating?)
    There is a problem with my car tape player. I haven't bought a head cleaning kit yet, but plan to do so. I connected an FM transmitter and tested the sound -- it was a lot louder. (In my area, I cannot use an FM transmitter in the city because of FM interference. No empty stations. So I either need earphones or to make the tape player work. Or a new car
    I don't know yet whether it's the Sound Check or Equalizer that makes the difference. I don't think I ever used Sound Enhancer.
    You can raise the volume by selecting songs, going to "Get Info" and resetting the volume bar. This seems to make it louder on the Mac speakers. I cannot tell that anything is getting through to the iPod -- I simply don't hear it yet.
    I don't know yet if importing when using Sound Check does anything permanent to the volume of the song. I hope not.

  • IPod Mini Sound Quality

    I have just bought a new 4gb ipod Mini from the Apple Store and would like to register my immense disappointment at the sound quality from the ipod. when playing songs back there is a noticeable distortion when using the EQ setting and to e lesser extent without the EQ setting. It's like listening to a cassette walkman with the asociated hiss. I have noticed other posts on this subject, SURELY this should be fixed by Apple. I now intend to return the ipod to Apple. Does the shuffle also suffer this problem?

    I also noticed this problem on the iPod Mini. I have the second generation iPod Mini and it's great. It does, however has two flaws:
    1. Noticeable distortion when playing certain music.
    2. Not being able to utilitze your own custom EQ settings.
    AS for solving the first problem above, with some experimentation, I've noticed that you can eliminate distortion by adjusting the volume levels for each individual file. It's done by right-clicking the file you want to adjust and choosing Get Info. On the one of the tabs, there's an adjustment for volume levels and EQ settings. Simply move the slider down and that should eliminate the problem. But the best way to handle this is to convert the file out to a WAV file and use a WAV editor to adjust the volume level. Then when you import and convert the file, that should eliminate the problem. As for the second one, I hope that there can be a way to import your own custom EQ settings in iTunes to the iPod. I find this my major qualm. The preset EQ settings are good, but they are no subsitute to being able to adjust the sound how YOU want it. I hope Apple will answer the cries for being able to import your EQ setting from iTunes to the iPod. All it would take is some programming and that should do it. Maybe on the next release of iTunes and the iPod updater? I hope so!!

  • IPod mini software issue?

    When I let pause a playlist and it goes into sleep, the only way I can resume the playlist without it going back to song number 1 is waking it up by attaching the iTrip. The other problem I am having is when I use the click wheel to go to another menu, I cannot go back to the main menu. Even when I let it go to sleep it won't return. I have to do a reset on it.
    While playing songs on the play list, the backlight will switch on and the screen shows that it has returned to the main menu, at this point I cannot pause any music, nor can I increase the volume etc.
    I have downloaded the lastest version of software for my iPod, but that didn't seem to rectify the problem.
    This issue is relatively new, I have had my iPod mini since Jan 2005, and have noticed this happening for the past 2 months or so.
    Any help would be appreciated as I use my iPod all the time and am getting quite frustrated with it.

    If you've restored the iPod and it hasn't cured the issue, then I would suggest you take advantage of your 'about to expire' warranty, and send it for service.

  • Ipod mini screen issues

    I had an first gen. IPOD mini that broke was replaced by apple about 4 months ago. Now the ipod is acting up again. I recently gave this ipod to my sister because I was buying a new one. When I had it, it never had any issues. Now that she has loaded her music on it it has started acting up, I dont know if that is related to anything or not. (maybe a corrupted file she loaded.) The problem is that when you push a button on the ipod to turn it on, it turns on but the second you release the button the screen goes blank. If you put on song, the screen will blank but the song will still play. Also if the backlight is on, the backlight will stay on, but there will be no words on the screen. If you hold down any one of the buttons the screen stays on, even if its a slight push on the buttons it turns the screen on.
    I have already tried restoring factory settings, and updating the ipod. Neither of those solutions worked. Can anyone help?

  • Ipod mini battery issue

    My ipod mini's battery life is over and I was looking into the apple support options and battery replacement. However, I was wondering if you get a battery replacement if all data on the ipod will be deleted or if apple will just give me a new ipod mini. Thanks.

    Usually Apple doesn't actually replace the battery, but instead places it with an exact model.  So yes, your data will be lost, so be sure to back it up to your computer if at all possible before sending it in for repairs/replacement.

  • Ipod mini uploading issues

    Hi there.
    Ive search and read pages upon pages to see if any other folks have had this problem. It seems that I am not alone (thank goodness) but even after lots of trouble shooting I can not seem to get my iPod mini to load songs.
    Ive reset my factory settings three times. My iTunes is up to date as well as my software for the ipod mini. The error message that I get EVERY TIME I plug in my iPod mini in is "You do not have enough space on your iPod".
    I have my settings set to only clicked songs - which the clicked songs is probably half the amount that would fit onto the mini (its a 4GB). I used to be able to at least drag songs into the ipod mini but it wont let me add any songs now. So with nothing in my ipod (really, I just set it back to factory settings) it tells me I dont have enough free space.
    Help!

  • IPad mini sound issues

    The sound in my iPad mini has gone noisy after I updated to iOS 7.0.2. Is there n issue to solve this? Anyone else facing the same problem?

    There is NO NEED to reset settings nether restore the iPad.
    There are some possibilities for sound problems - most of them are really simple:
    http://youtu.be/SDf1LDcE95Q
    (1min 36sec)
    It covers the basics:
    checking side-switch / mute / "Control Center"
    volume all up
    ...and also the worst cases:
    closing all apps (for rare cases when a single app might render the sound system instable)
    rebooting the iPad
    So, don't get desparete: try the things in the video.
    There are people who reported having forgotten an audio-bluetooth connection activated with a turned-off sound-system or speakers... or forgot Air-Play turned on... so be sure you disengage bluetooth and/or airplay.
    On the 'hardware side', dirty dock connector (30 pin) can make the iPad 'think' it is connected to external audio - if so, cleaning it with a dry toothbrush can fix. Also, moisture in the headphones connector can make the iPad switch to 'headphones' even without headphones connected, making it silent: check if you can hear things with headphones plugged in - if so, try gently inserting and removing headphones a few times and check if you get sound back to iPad's speakers alone.

  • Mac Mini Sound Issue under OS X when Boot Camp is installed

    I've noticed a strange issue on my Intel Mac Mini.
    Fresh install of Mac OS X 10.4.6 or higher - sound volume is normal and stays at the previously set level after a power off, power on, or just a restart.
    If I take the same fresh install and install Boot Camp (confirmed on version 1.2 and 1.3 both) - and I raise the volume and restart or shut down / power back on - the volume is automatically reset to 50% when I log back into Mac OS X.
    The volume problem doesn't appear to affect Windows or Linux at all, only OS X itself.
    Once Boot Camp is removed, the problem goes away.
    This has happened after multiple test re-installs - including with a fresh install of 10.4.x updated to 10.4.10.
    Has anyone else noticed this?

    sorry for digging up an old thread, but what was the problem?

  • Strange mac mini sound issue with HDMI cable

    I connected my mac mini to my Panasonic 44 inch HDTV with a DVI to HDMI adapter. I didin't get sound through the cable like i expected. Then I connected a 3mm to RCA jacks adapter to the analog HDMI port on the TV and still no sound. Strangely, when i switched resolutions from 1920 X 1080 to 1200 X 720 the sound started working through the audio ports. It works on every resolution except 1920 X 1080. Any ideas why this is so? Or how to fix it?

    First off, the DVI standard makes no provision for carrying sound. That is why you didn't hear any sound when making a DVI-to-HDMI connection from your mini to your TV through the adapter. I am assuming there must be a setting on your TV that is snuffing the sound input from the mini rather than the mini not outputing sound at 1920x1080. This would be easy to prove. Just pull the audio minijack connector from the mini's sound out and I'm guessing you will hear sound coming from the mini's speaker.
    Is it possible that, on your TV set, you have associated 1920x1080 with an expectation of HDMI input? Maybe the TV is expecting to find digital audio over the HDMI input and somehow that association is only with that one resolution. Then when you drop resolutions it is looking for sound over the analog port instead of over the HDMI port. I'm just guessing here, but it's something you can check.
